fully restore my ammo

[Taddy Mason]

does this really need to be explained? if I'm practicing or qualifying for a Mastery Rank test and I have to retry, using up one of my chances, I should get all of my ammo back, right? How am I going to kill all the enemies without it?

I'm playing around with the MR12 test. This is the first test I've been playing around with that I noticed it on. Do all the tests do this? If so, why? How am I supposed to play around and try different weapons and frames without my ammo coming back? I already have to leave and come back for each new weapon and frame I want to try it with. Trying to pass it with Pox or other low ammo weapons is hard enough without respawning and having a single clip to try and kill 16 enemies with.

Why you would need so much ammo use soma or ignis with few damage boost it make the job

you missed the point of my post. I want to beat it with other weapons. I hate seeing people come on this forum complaining about this MR test or that MR test and watching them get swamped with posts almost identical to yours. There are hundreds of weapons in this game to use. Telling someone to go get the specific one(s) you used is utterly useless if they don't have access to those weapons. I want to find the ways to beat all of these tests with as many weapons as possible to show it can be done with as many weapons as possible.

No offense to you or anyone else genuinely trying to help people with these tests, but posts like those are why I started doing this in the first place. They're useless or pretty close to it.

Everyone know any test is doable with almost any weapons with good mods on it I guess I don't know

the tests are short enough that you SHOULDNT run out of ammo in the 3 tries your given unless your aim sucks or your mod build is so bad you dont do enough damage. with the exception to this being the arca plasmor or any of the explosive launchers which innately have low ammo but again they should be 1 shotting anything that you can come up against in mastery tests

How the hell do you run out of ammo in Warframe?

[Forza Piadina]

If you wanna have fun, you can try it with talons and kill the rest with an exalted weapon. I think you can use ammo restore in some tests but i am not sure about this one.

[Renataendborinn]

most tests if i remember correctly allow use of equipment.

[CROSS:FADE]

use gun with high ammo or kitgun with rechargeable magazine

Ignis does not have too much ammo issues if you let go of LMB once every now and then.

Myth exists that it is possible to let go of LMB while playing Ignis but I am yet to encounter a living soul doing that.

Pox has 24 shots. I got 15/16 enemies killed and had to retry cause I ran out of ammo. When I restarted with 4 shots, there was no way to complete it since I didn’t have an ammo restore.

I understand you can use weapons with high ammo amounts and ammo restores. The point I’m trying to make is that I want to try and beat these with as many different weapons as possible and I shouldn’t have to blow thru my ammo restores to do it. They could simply refill my ammo completely instead of just giving me one “magazine” or “clip”-whatever you want to call it-when I run out.

Try putting on an ammo mutation mod, I guess? Your case really seems more like a self-imposed challenge rather than something that should be standardized.

This idea that every job has to be doable with every tool is one of the first things Mastery Tests broke me of in Warframe. Mastery Tests, to me, emphasize more than anything else how Warframe is a "right tools for the right job" kind of game. You wouldn't try to unscrew a flathead screw with a phillips head screwdriver. You wouldn't try to remove a nut or bolt with a hammer instead of a wrench.

Sure, in some cases you CAN force the tool into an inappropriate job; I have a friend with enough moxy and stubbornness and most of all map knowledge that he'll do spies exclusively with his Frost Prime. But frames like Loki and Ivara, and even Mirage with her ability to disable security devices, will do the same job much more easily.

There were multiple occasions on Mastery tests where I failed repeatedly (either practice or even qualifying) until I finally figured out the right combination of frames/weapons to make the job easier. Like using Banshee in conjunction with a gunblade on the stealth tests that prohibit you taking any guns, to use her silencing passive and snipe enemies from afar, or using Ash's teleport to get to objectives quickly, or using defensive/CC frames and Specters on the ones that force you to defend multiple points.

I just don't understand why, in a game that has SO many assorted tools and tricks potentially at one's disposal, one would get mad that they can't force just the one specific cube they want to use into the round hole.

That being said, it IS kind of silly not to refill your ammo between failed attempts. But that's just all the more reason, to me, to take note of this odd quirk and use something with better ammo economy instead.

I've been playig this game on and off for years. The one thing that's NEVER been a problem in this game is a lack of ammo...

I already had one on. The enemies might drop ammo-but it’s out of reach. And yes, this is a self imposed challenge. Doesn’t change the fact that they could simply replenish our ammo during the mastery rank tests.

I agree with you except when it comes to the mastery rank tests.

Sure, but is it worth changing just because one guy brought a poor choice of weapon to a test, or didn't bother to mod his poor choice to make it less restricting? Wouldn't changing it defeat the point of it being a test?
